Love Island star Hugo Hammond has confessed he had an unaired chat with Liberty Poole, in which she apparently told him she was "keeping [her] options open".
Liberty might be going out with fellow islander Jake Cornish now, but Hugo has since revealed that the blonde beauty previously told him she was "keeping her options open" at the start of her romance with the Somerset-local on the show.
Fans will remember that Jake's head was turned when Millie Court came into the villa, alongside Lucinda Strafford.

And it turns out that when Jake pulled Millie for a chat, Liberty did the same with Hugo.
He told Closer magazine: “When I got back [to the UK] I spoke to my family and I said, 'Oh did you see that Lib pulled me for a chat when Jake had a chat with Mills?'
“And I don't think it was shown, but me and Lib had a chat."

When asked if he thought Liberty was “exploring” her options, Hugo replied that he believed she was.
He then refused to divulge any of the juicy details behind their conversation, when he realised the chat indeed hadn't aired.
Fans will remember that when Jake called Millie for a chat, he told her she was his "type" before promptly getting pied.
We might not have seen Liberty and Hugo's flirtation, but it doesn't matter now, as Jiberty remained a unit in the week that followed, with Lib taking Jake for a chat shortly after Millie's entrance and laying down the law.

Fans will remember she told him that if he didn't want to commit to her and her only then he could take a hike.
And from then on they seemed pretty committed, surviving Casa Amor and even managing to whether suspicions - posed by the public, fellow islanders and even Liberty herself - about how genuine they are.
Hugo didn't have it as easy in the villa, rejecting a string of women before finally settling down with Casa Amor babe, Amy Day in the last few days of his journey.
But the couple haven't lasted on the outside, with Amy declaring that she feels like she "wasted [her] time" on the teacher in the villa, adding on Love Island Aftersun that she wishes she opted for other islanders instead.

Just imagine how different things could have been if that Hugo and Liberty chat did go somewhere...
We could be looking at Hiberty right now!
